Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup tahini
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Water as needed for sauce consistency
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Add chicken breasts and coat well. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes or overnight.
2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
3. Grill chicken for about 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
4. While the chicken cooks, whisk tahini with lemon juice and gradually add water until the desired consistency is reached. Season with salt to taste.
5. Slice the grilled chicken thinly and serve over grains or greens with diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and red onion slices. Drizzle with tahini sauce before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
Serve with rice, quinoa, or a bed of mixed greens for variety.
Add toppings like hummus, olives, or feta cheese for a more traditional Mediterranean bowl.
